T h e O l d S t a t i o n e r - N o 7 8 interesting and informative and I wish to take this opportunity once again to thank you for giving me access to your library. Best regards Chaim Simons 5th September 2013 Dear Mr Chaim Simons Having seen your original correspondence on H.P.Roberts and a Welshman, I should be very pleased, if is possible to receive any information that you have found out in your research on H.P.Roberts on where he came from in Wales i.e. primary and secondary schools which he attended all those years ago; and any other establishments of education after school before taking up teaching posts; the latter again would be interesting. The reason, I ask, is that it would be interesting to Old Stationers who attended the Stationers' Company's School before 1945 and would remember 'Bobs' well. I would like to include this information in 'The Old Stationer', the successor to the School Magazine if you would be willing. We have a section 'News of Former Staff'. HPR was President of S.O.B.A. - Stationers' Old Boys Association now known as the OSA – Old Stationers' Association, having been installed on the 26th April, 1939 and was President throughout the War until April 1946 when there was a presentation made to him in recognition for his unique services as President throughout the difficult years of the war. I guess our longest serving President. Yours sincerely Geraint Pritchard 8thSeptember 2013 Dear Mr Pritchard Thank you for your e-mail. I will be happy to send you the biographical information that I am researching on H.P.Roberts when it is complete. I estimate that this will be within the next two months and I will send it to you immediately.
